...to take possession of my very own aircraft!
As some of you on here know, I have been thwarted for a while in my hunt for a suitable aircraft. Purchasing an aircraft is probably something you can get better at if you do it more often, but it'll certainly never be quite as straightforward as buying a car...
However, after a couple of hiccups and delays, and after missing out on the best flying summer in recent history, I was a very happy chappie today at White Waltham when the current owner flew her in and handed over the keys.
And I am proud to say that she is now mine.
All mine!
I'm looking forward to getting the prerequisite conversion to type and, in the longer run, see if I really like aerobatics or just want to dabble.
Having said that, I also intend to do some 'transiting' in her so we will be touring more than before - easier when no longer renting.
Thanks to David for building and selling a great little aircraft and to Julian so far for helping me to get intimate with her.

We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon.
